Re: 2018 NCAA Division I FBS and FCS College Football Thread

Three Studs
1. Alabama Crimson Tide QB Tua Tagovailoa
Why? Jalen who? Tagovailoa is picking up where he left off since coming in the 2017-18 College Football Playoff National Title Game.

227 passing yards, 2 TD, 0 INT and also catching a touchdown pass in the Tide's 51-14 romp on the Louisville Cardinals could make Jalen Hurts switch positions.

2. Maryland Terrapins
Why? A lot of turmoil in College Park during the summer, but that didn't stop the Terps from beating Tom Herman's Texas Longhorns again.

3. Auburn Tigers
Why? Auburn grabbed a win outside the SEC and boost their chances for a spot in the College Football Playoffs.

Three Duds
1. Michigan Wolverines
Why? Not a good start in Year #4 in the Jim Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor after a loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Shea Patterson thought he was the answer for Harbaugh in the QB position, but he disappointed being responsible for both Michigan turnovers.

2. Tom Herman and Chip Kelly
Why? Another loss to Maryland for Herman and the Texas Longhorns. Herman is piling his offensive woes on his offensive coordinator. Yikes.

As for Kelly in Westwood, the UCLA Bruins QB situation doesn't look promising after UCLA lost to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

3. The Pacific-12 Conference
Why? Washington still has lots of time to make up after their competitive loss to Auburn, but they need to run the table including winning the Pac-12 title game in a beat the living crap out of each other Pac-12 to get the conference's bid in the College Football Playoffs.
